August Break #11 - Oregon Dunes


During our trip up the West Coast, we camped in the Oregon Dunes and spent one day at the beach where I took this photo. To kick it up a notch, I edited it in Photoshop Elements and played around with textures. I ended up with three different photo by changing the blending mode of just one added texture.

In the top picture I wanted to achieve a pink after-sunset mood:

"Polaroid-7-vintage rose" by Shadowhouse Creations, Overlay at 70%
Levels adjustment
"Dustyrose" by Kim Klassen, Saturation at 50%.

Then I played some more and came up with a completely different effect: 


"Polaroid-7-vintage rose" by Shadowhouse Creations, Overlay at 70%
Levels adjustment
"Dustyrose" by Kim Klassen, Luminosity at 50%

After that I created a more wintery scene that reminds me of glaciers and a really cold bay:


"Polaroid-7-vintage rose" by Shadowhouse Creations, Overlay at 70%
Levels adjustment
"Dustyrose" by Kim Klassen, Exclusion 100%

No big changes in the "processing", but quite some different outcome.

Here's the original, rather boring photo, straight out of the camera:


Which one is your favorite?
